,Be it. known that I, Lasnna' C. GARDEN, a

rcitizen of the United States, and a resident ofthe city of Chicago, county .ofCook, and Stateofj Illinois, have invented certain new and, useful Improvements in Garbage-Receptacles, of which the following is a specification.

. garb My invention .relates toimprovemcnts in jgarbegeflreceptacles and, has for its "obyect, the production of a garbage rece tacle which wilhbe sanitary in. use end-winch will be oi durable and economical. construction. *Ot-h'er objectswillmppear hereinafter. With --th,c'se objects in view injy invention consists in the combinations and arrangements. of parts hereinafter described 1 and Theiinvention will be best understood by reference to "the jaceompanying drawin s forming a part ofthis specification andin which,

Figure Lie 2. central vertical section of a e receptacle embodying my invention, and FlgqZjS a section taken on substantially the line of Fig. 1, the closure, which in Fig. -1 is shown in partially open position,

beingshown closed in Fig., 2.

.'.lhe preferred form of construction as illustrated comprises a.- base l'upon which is ned the hollow body 2 of the jreoe 'tacle. Said body 2 in use isarranged prefiimbly adjacent the alley, the rearward end thereof projecting through an opening provided for'the reception thereof 1nthe kfgnce "3. which is. usually-- provided at the,

rnetirwardzcnd of ti lot at the alley. Said 'fbodygis provided at its rearward side with, v outwardlyprojecting flange 4 which rests gelsuflyshowndn "Fig. 1.

Big plush the a'djuwntside 0f the fence as Brovided inthe upper sit r body 2 is thefgarbage-wastc inlet-opening'fi and pro- .ri edlin the rearwall-of said-body adjacent the lower endcthere'of is the removal or outopening -6,'' said opening '6 comm nism with a compartment .7 which is provided.

in the bottom of body-a];- the rearwardend fptliereof. The'mmpartment 7 is formed with slopingibottom 8 in orderto. facilitate the I ,Ii'e ovalof thev contents thereof by means -a= hovel. i ranged p in thebody2 is a conveyor memb il said body, projecting flangesll) provided at the upper end of member 9 engaging in- Wardly projecting flanges 11 provided '-at e the interior of body 2 adjacent the upper. end thereof. The arrangement is such, as

will be "observed, that longitudinal movementof the member?) in body 2 is permitted.

The member 9 is bottomless, the rearward portion of the bottom of body 2 serving as a bot-tom for the member 9, when the latteris at its forward terminal of movemcnt, as clearly shown in Fig. I. The'arrangement as such, however, that, when the member 9 will be discharged therefrom and deposited into the'compart-ment 7 for removal. This sliding movement of member 9 is eii'ccted and rear walls of body 2. The opening 15- is provided with a closure plate 16 which is pivotally mounted at 17 at its upper side so -is moved rearwardly, the contents thereof that said closure will remain normally in closing position, as will be readily understood.

. Access to the upper endof member 9, when the device is in use, is aincd through the opening 5, the upper on of member 9 registering with said opening, when said member is at its forward terminalof'movement as yvill be readily understood; Opening 5, however. is closednormally by a closure 18 which is hinged'at 19, sai'd closure remaining normally in closed posit-ion.

Swinging of closure 18 to open position is effected through the medium'of U-shapcd foot operable lover or pedal 20 which is'fulcrumed zit-21 upon body 2. The limbs of tremities with the lowerends' of links 22, the upper ends of said links being pivotally connected with the corresponding ends of. levers 23 which are fulcrumed' I at 24 upon body 2. The opposite ends of lovers '23 ere connected through thev medium of links 25 with the closure 18, the arrangementsv being such, as will be'observed, that depression of the free end of. lever ZOwill effect swinging of said closure to open position. -Downward swinging or depression of lever 20 is limited by means of the hooked stop 26 which is arranged, as shown, in .the

{latterbeing slidably' mounted in path of oscillation of said lever. 1"

lever 20 are connected intermediate their exre s Provided upon the inside of closure 18 are upoardly pr rjcctiuglingers 27 adapted, when the closure is in lowered or closed position and member 9 in its rearward position, to engage under the flange 28 pro Yided at the upper end of member 9 extending rearwardly from the forward edge thereof. With this arrangement it will be seen that, when member 9 is at its rearward terminal of movement, closure 18 will be locked in closed position preventing the depositing of garbage through opening 5. This, as will be seen, is a safeguard since without this provision it would be a very likely happening for refuse to be deposited into the receptacle when the latter was not arranged, to receive the same. \Vith the present construction it will be seen that 1 such a deposit will be prevented since, when the member 9 is not properly positioned, the closure will be locked thereby. Extending upwardly from the upper wall of body 2 is a vent pipe 29 through whichthe obnoxious fumes and gases, may escape from the receptacle. The p'ipe 29, as will be understood, may be of any length desired to convey the odors and gases and discharge the same where they will 'not be objectionable.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modification withaccessible through said closure; and

out departing from the spirit of the invention. I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the exact details of construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of suchvariations and modifications as comewithin the scope of the appended claims.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent is: v I

1. A garbage receptacle com rising a hollow body; amovable closure or said body at the upper side thereof; a bottomless member slidably mounted within said body, said member, when in one position, being means for moving said member to transfer the contents of the receptacle from one position therein to another, substantially as dcscribed.

2, A garbage receptacle comprising a hollow body; a movable closure for said body at the upper side thereof;

said member, when in one position, being accessible through said closure; and handles for manually moving said member to transfer the contents of the receptacle from one position therein to another, substant-ially as described.

3. A garbage receptacle com rising a ho]- low body; a movable closure or said body at the upper side thereof; a bottomless member slidably mounted within said body,

a bottomless- 'member movably mounted within said body,

said member, when in one position, being accessible through said closure; means for movlng said member to transfer the con- .tents of the receptacle from one position therein to another,- and means for locking said closure in closed position when said bottomless member is at one of its terminitls of movement, substantially as described.

4. A garbage receptacle comprising a hollow bod having an inlet opening atits upper si e and an outlet opening at its rearward end; a movable closure for said inlet opening; a bottomless menib'er movably mounted within said body, said member,-

when atone terminal of its movement being accessible through said closure, movement of said member to its other terminal of movement effecting the transfer of the contents thereof to the rearward end of said body; means for manually moving said member; and means on said member adapt ed, when the latter is in position at the rearward end of said body to lock said closure in closing position, su stantiiilly as described. V

6. A garbage receptacle comprising a hollow body having an inlet opening at its upper side and an outlet opening at its rearward end; a compartmentin the bottom of said body at the rearward end thereof accessible through said outlet opening; a bottomless member movably mounted within said body, said member, when at its forward terminal of movement being accessible through said inlet opening, movement of said member to its other terminals of move-- ment effecting the transfer of the contents to the rearward end of said body and the depositing of said contents into said compa-rtment; and means for manually moving said member, substantially as described.

7. A garbage receptacle eomprisinga hollow body havlngan inlet opening at its upper side and an outlet opemn at its rearward end; a compartment in tie bottom of said body at the rearward end thereof accessible through said outlet opening; inwardly extending guides at the upper end of said body; a bottomless member slidably mounted within said body and supported by said guides, said member, when at its forward terminal of movement being accessible through sziid inlet opening, sliding of said member to its other terminal of movement effecting the transfer of the contents thereof to the rearward'end of said body and thedepositing of said contents in said compartment; and means for manually slid" ing said member, substantially as described; 1

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
